The first lens element, the second lens element, the third lens element and the fourth lens element can be single and non-cemented lens elements. The fifth lens element and the sixth lens element can be cemented lens elements. The non-cemented lens element has the advantage of a simpler manufacturing process, and the cemented lens element is favorable for correcting aberrations.

The first lens element has negative refractive power. Therefore, it is favorable for enlarging the scope of the incident light beams so as to increase the aperture, and thereby providing sufficient amount of incident light.

The second lens element has positive refractive power. Therefore, it is favorable for balancing the divergence capability of the first lens element so as to correct aberrations generated from the first lens element.

The third lens element with positive refractive power can have a concave image-side surface. Therefore, it is favorable for reducing a total track length of the imaging lens assembly.

The fourth lens element has positive refractive power. Therefore, the arrangement of the refractive power of the third lens element and the fourth lens element is favorable for improving the convergence capability of the imaging lens assembly and balancing the refractive power distribution between the object side and the image side so as to correct aberrations of the imaging lens assembly. Furthermore, the fourth lens element can have a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. Therefore, it is favorable for correcting aberrations of the off-axial region so as to reduce the difference of the focus positions due to different curvatures of the tangential plane and the sagittal plane.

The fifth lens element with positive refractive power can have a convex object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. Therefore, the arrangement of the second lens element and the fifth lens element, which is symmetrical within the structure of the imaging lens assembly, is favorable for enhancing the image quality.

The sixth lens element with negative refractive power can have a concave image-side surface. Therefore, it is favorable for correcting chromatic aberration so as to reduce the difference of the positions where different wavelengths of light are focused.

When a ratio of a focal length of the imaging lens assembly to a focal length of the first lens element is P1, a ratio of the focal length of the imaging lens assembly to a focal length of the second lens element is P2, a ratio of the focal length of the imaging lens assembly to a focal length of the fifth lens element is P5, a ratio of the focal length of the imaging lens assembly to a focal length of the sixth lens element is P6, the following condition is satisfied: (|P1|+|P2|)/(|P5|+|P6|)<0.60. Therefore, it is favorable for enlarging the aperture so as to increase the amount of incident light. Moreover, it is favorable for reducing a back focal length of the imaging lens assembly so as to maintain a compact size thereof. According to the disclosure, a ratio of the focal length of the imaging lens assembly to a focal length of a lens element is the refractive power of the lens element.

When the focal length of the imaging lens assembly is f, a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the sixth lens element is R12, the following condition is satisfied: 0<f/R12<3.0. Therefore, it is favorable for further reducing the back focal length so as to keep the imaging lens assembly compact.

When an Abbe number of the sixth lens element is V6, the following condition can be satisfied: V6<30. Therefore, it is favorable for the imaging lens assembly having sufficient chromatic aberration correction capability at the image side so as to provide proper imaging range, and thereby the imaging lens assembly is favorably applicable to image recognition applications.

When an Abbe number of the first lens element is V1, an Abbe number of the second lens element is V2, an Abbe number of the third lens element is V3, an Abbe number of the fourth lens element is V4, an Abbe number of the fifth lens element is V5, and an Abbe number of the i-th lens element is Vi, the following condition can be satisfied: 30<Vi, wherein i=1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Therefore, it is favorable for arranging the distribution of the refractive indices of the lens elements in the imaging lens assembly so as to prevent undesirable aberrations.

When the focal length of the imaging lens assembly is f, the following condition can be satisfied: 5.0 millimeters<f<15.0 millimeters. Therefore, it is favorable for keeping the imaging lens assembly compact.

According to the disclosure, the imaging lens assembly further includes an aperture stop, and the lens elements of the imaging lens assembly can include a front lens group and a rear lens group. The front lens group is located between an imaged object and the aperture stop, and the rear lens group is located between the aperture stop and an image surface. When a focal length of the front lens group is ff, a focal length of the rear lens group is fr, the following condition can be satisfied: −0.50<fr/ff<0.50. Therefore, it is favorable for balancing the refractive power distribution of the imaging lens assembly so as to reduce the total track length. According to the disclosure, both the front lens group and the rear lens group may include only one lens element or plural lens elements. When the front/rear lens group includes only one lens element, the focal length of the front/rear lens group is equal to a focal length of the lens element. When the front/rear lens group includes plural lens elements, the focal length of the front/rear lens group is equal to a composite focal length of the lens elements.

When the focal length of the imaging lens assembly is f, an entrance pupil diameter of the imaging lens assembly is EPD, the following condition can be satisfied: f/EPD<1.85. Therefore, it is favorable for arranging the aperture so as to provide sufficient amount of incident light, and thereby improving the image quality.

When an axial distance between an object-side surface of the first lens element and the image-side surface of the sixth lens element is Td, a maximum image height of the imaging lens assembly (half of a diagonal length of an effective photosensitive area of the image sensor) is ImgH, the following condition can be satisfied: 4.0<Td/ImgH<8.0. Therefore, it is favorable for tightly arranging the lens elements of the imaging lens assembly so as to maintain a compact size thereof.

When a curvature radius of an object-side surface of the third lens element is R5, a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the third lens element is R6, the following condition can be satisfied: −0.80<(R5−R6)/(R5+R6)<0.10. Therefore, it is favorable for correcting spherical aberration so as to improve the image quality.

When a curvature radius of the object-side surface of the fifth lens element is R9, a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the fifth lens element is R10, a curvature radius of an object-side surface of the sixth lens element is R11, the curvature radius of the image-side surface of the sixth lens element is R12, the following condition can be satisfied: −0.50<((R9+R10)/(R9−R10))+((R11+R12)/(R11−R12))<0.50. Therefore, the shapes of the lens elements at the image side of the imaging lens assembly are symmetric so that it is favorable for correcting coma and astigmatism.

When an axial distance between the first lens element and the second lens element is T12, an axial distance between the third lens element and the fourth lens element is T34, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.10<T12/T34<1.5. Therefore, the axial distances between adjacent lens elements are properly arranged so that it is favorable for obtaining compactness and assembling the image lens assembly.

When the entrance pupil diameter of the imaging lens assembly is EPD, the maximum image height of the imaging lens assembly is ImgH, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.65<EPD/ImgH<3.0. Therefore, when the imaging lens assembly has a sufficient photosensitive area, it is favorable for per unit of the photosensitive area receiving more light so as to increase the image illumination and resolution.

When half of a maximal field of view of the imaging lens assembly is HFOV, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.40<tan(2*HFOV)<1.0. Therefore, it is favorable for obtaining a proper field of view so that the imaging lens assembly is applicable to image recognition functionality on various devices.

When a sum of central thicknesses of all the lens elements of the imaging lens assembly (That is, a sum of the central thicknesses of the first lens element, the second lens element, the third lens element, the fourth lens element, the fifth lens element and the sixth lens element) is ΣCT, the axial distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and the image-side surface of the sixth lens element is Td, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.60<ΣCT/Td<1.0. Therefore, it is favorable for assembling the lens elements with a proper arrangement so as to increase the manufacturing yield rate and keep the imaging lens assembly compact.

When a refractive index of the first lens element is N1, a refractive index of the second lens element is N2, a maximum refractive index among all the lens elements of the imaging lens assembly (That is, a maximum refractive index among the first lens element, the second lens element, the third lens element, the fourth lens element, the fifth lens element and the sixth lens element) is Nmax, the following conditions can be satisfied: N1<N2 and 1.7<Nmax. Therefore, it is favorable for properly distributing the refractive indices of the lens elements while choosing a proper material for each lens element.

When a maximum effective radius of the object-side surface of the first lens element is Y11, a maximum effective radius of the image-side surface of the sixth lens element is Y62, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.80<Y11/Y62<1.55. Therefore, it is favorable for controlling the size difference between an entrance opening and an exit opening of the imaging lens assembly so as to increase the amount of incident light and provide the proper image size.

When an axial distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and the image surface is TL, the focal length of the imaging lens assembly is f, the following condition can be satisfied: 1.8<TL/f<7.0. Therefore, it is favorable for balancing the configuration of the imaging lens assembly with a sufficient imaging range and incident light so as to obtain higher image quality.

When the central thickness of the first lens element is CT1, the central thickness of the second lens element is CT2, the central thickness of the third lens element is CT3, the central thickness of the fourth lens element is CT4, the central thickness of the fifth lens element is CT5, the central thickness of the sixth lens element is CT6, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.65<(CT5+CT6)/(CT1+CT2+CT3+CT4). Therefore, it is favorable for properly arranging the thicknesses of the fifth lens element and the sixth lens element so as to correct high-order aberrations, and thereby improving the image quality.

According to the present disclosure, an aperture stop can be configured as a front stop or a middle stop. A front stop disposed between an imaged object and the first lens element can produce a telecentric effect by providing a longer distance between an exit pupil and the image surface, thereby improving the image-sensing efficiency of an image sensor (for example, CCD or CMOS). A middle stop disposed between the first lens element and the image surface is favorable for enlarging the view angle and thereby provides a wider field of view.

According to the present disclosure, the lens elements of the imaging lens assembly can be made of glass or plastic material. When the lens elements are made of glass material, the refractive power distribution of the imaging lens assembly may be more flexible to design. When the lens elements are made of plastic material, manufacturing costs can be effectively reduced. Furthermore, surfaces of each lens element can be arranged to be aspheric, since the aspheric surface of the lens element is easy to form a shape other than a spherical surface so as to have more controllable variables for eliminating aberrations thereof and to further decrease the required number of the lens elements. Therefore, the total track length of the imaging lens assembly can also be reduced.

According to the present disclosure, each of an object-side surface and an image-side surface has a paraxial region and an off-axial region. The paraxial region refers to the region of the surface where light rays travel close to the optical axis, and the off-axial region refers to the region of the surface away from the paraxial region. Particularly unless otherwise stated, when the lens element has a convex surface, it indicates that the surface can be convex in the paraxial region thereof; when the lens element has a concave surface, it indicates that the surface can be concave in the paraxial region thereof. Moreover, when a region of refractive power or focus of a lens element is not defined, it indicates that the region of refractive power or focus of the lens element can be in the paraxial region thereof.

According to the present disclosure, an image surface of the imaging lens assembly, based on the corresponding image sensor, can be flat or curved, particularly a concave curved surface facing towards the object side of the imaging lens assembly.

According to the present disclosure, the imaging lens assembly can include at least one stop, such as an aperture stop, a glare stop or a field stop. Said glare stop or said field stop is allocated for eliminating the stray light and thereby improving the image quality thereof.

According to the present disclosure, an image capturing unit is provided.

Furthermore, the imaging lens assembly is featured with good capability in aberration corrections and high image quality, and can be applied to 3D (three-dimensional) image capturing applications, in products such as digital cameras, mobile devices, digital tablets, wearable devices, smart televisions, network surveillance devices, motion sensing input devices, dashboard cameras, vehicle backup cameras and other electronic imaging devices.
